One of the most-awaited true crime documentaries, The Crash, just dropped on Netflix a few days ago, on May 15, 2026. Since then, it has generated a lot of buzz, though it might be a hard watch for a few. The documentary tells the story of a 17-year-old girl named Mackenzie Shirilla, who is guilty of murder. Now, with the documentary putting a fresh spotlight on the real-life Mackenzie Shirilla, a newly obtained jail call in which she had with her mother about her life behind bars is grabbing the attention.
Mackenzie Shirilla talks about her life behind bars and how she won’t “be able to have kids”
On May 20, 2026, People obtained an undated call between the subject of Netflix’s The Crash, Mackenzie Shirilla, and her mother, Natalie Shirilla. In the call, she discusses the realities of life behind bars in the Cuyahoga County Jail, where she has been since her double-murder conviction. Mackenzie can be heard saying that she “doesn’t want to live here with these people,” referring to being surrounded by “murderers [and] kidnappers,” as her mother described them. Natalie then went on to say, “But anyway, since you have to spend time there, we all knew you were going to anyway, it doesn’t sound so, so bad.”
